A new world opens up the moment you discover you’re pregnant. This will raise all sorts of questions, and you will experience a whole new set of thoughts and feelings. Often you will receive a lot of information from various people, and it’s important to learn to choose your own course in all this. You will also notice all sorts of bodily changes that may be new to you.

During my lessons of yoga for pregnant women – or the yoga for you and your partner – I will teach you how to keep or improve your general condition, while at the same time strengthening your muscles. Working with your body will improve your awareness of its possibilities and limits, its needs and functioning, which in turn will help you to use it in daily life and during labour. Ideally you would start these lessons somewhere between the 16th and 20th week of pregnancy, but it’s possible to join later.

The yoga for pregnant women is in Centrum de Roos, adjacent to the Vondelpark early on Thursday evening. If you need more information you can contact Patricia Vriens, either by phone or email.
